hey South Korea. ... there are too many people committing suicide due to depression in your country.. these aren't just regular folks whose committing them... celebrities, executives, ex-president of south korea, chairman of hyundai... i mean cmon. when are you guys going to realize that mental illness is not a joke and it is REAL. please ask for help or educate your people about depression and how to deal with it, hire and have education programs of psychology so people can understand and treat people who are dealing with it.... medications can be given, or spritualy guidance. SOMETHING. why are you talking about it and not doing any kind of action? yea there are alot of suicides in the US too. however, we have alot of resources and programs and understand the problems of depression plus have tons of information about it and we recognize it. why cant you?
